Balls Green for staff parties and team days
Balls Green is about 4 miles north of Crowborough, in East Sussex. From the centre of Balls Green to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Balls Green is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cook. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 22 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Bassetts Manor (2.2 miles north-west) and Groombridge Place (2.3 miles east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers. Balls Green is about 29 miles from central London, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 5 miles, which suits team away days in the countryside.
We cover work events in every part of the TN7 postcode area. For work events just outside Balls Green, we cover Hartfield (1 mile west), Ashurst (2 miles north-east), Groombridge (2 miles east), Teasley Mead (2 miles north) and Stone Cross (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crowborough (4 miles south), Uckfield (10 miles south), Heathfield (11 miles south-east), Wadhurst (9 miles east), Ridgewood (10 miles south) and Ringmer (15 miles south).

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Is Balls Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
